THE SONG OF TIE HEADLIGHT.

When the full moon lays radiant haze
From eartn to heavens wall,
Or the tranquil stars mark the viewless bars
Whence the arrows OF vision fall
Or l send my glance whrre the quick drops
dance
With the rattering call of the rain,
To their comrades asleep in the hidden deep
OF the subterraaean main,
Or If storms are out, ana the free winds shout
" ilh ftful falls and swells.
4 steadfast glow of light throw
On my cleaning parallels.
guide the train DER the level plain
4 swiftly caring star,
And bend and sWerve where the mountains
curve
My iron bound Path to bar;
Up their rocky sleeps the fleet flame leaps,
Or flash in their depths below,
TIL the MOSES that dress each dim recess
And that the rodding ferns l show;
l spring to illumine the frowning gloom
OF pr cipices gray,
And waters smile from the deep defle,
In my monentary day.
Where the wood benign, with beck and sign
Invite all timtd things,
To its shelter spread for the CrouChing head,
And its covert for dropping wings,
L bear my light, till in vain alright
The doe with her trembling fawn
And the creatures meek that refuge seek
In the forest shade withdrawn,
Press closer yet to the copse dewWet,
or speed through the whispering grsss,
10 niue IHeu away from inc STORYTELLING ray
Ishoot through the dark as pass.
AS a meteor flies in star set skies
By myriad moveless spheres,
l hurry along where the lamp lights throng
AS the sleeping town appears;
Like the coming of Fate, to those who wait
Till bear their loved away,
seem as l shine down the widening line,
Ere pause for amoments stay;
But he who feels those rolling wheels
Lead home, to his hearts desire,
Can half believe his eyes perceive
The prophets chariot of fire.
Still on and on till the night is gone
/ follow the vibrant rails,
TIL the east is red, and overhead
The star of the morning pales;
AS foes may fear the soldiers spear,
But comrades have no dread
The lances of light l hurled at the night
Pierce not where snnbeams spread,

ProClaims the darkness fled.

themselves to change this order OF
things, and the citizens generally
| should explain this matter to the farmers
and others who own large tracts of land
| The vicinity of Fort Worth would, says
| Mr.. JudkIns, blossom as the rose if small
| farms could be bought by the very best
| farmers in other states. Within g radius
of six miles outside of Fort Worth $4,000
| people could find homes VINO would
be producers and trade with the
retail men of Fort Worth. The railroads
; can do nothing until they can say to the
farmers in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Mis-
souri, and Ohio: eve can locate you
within six or eight miles Of q great city,
a good market with all the facilities you
now enjoy" The railroads sre ready;
what do our farmers and real estate men
say?
Mr.. r. P. Buchanan, representing the st.
Louis and San Francisco, the avant
courier, as it were, is in Fort Worth and
called on number of our citizens and
The GAZETTE yesterday. He finds our
people more than friendly to the great
corporation he represents and anxious to
see Frisco cars pull up to our depots. Mr.
Buchanan says it will be about the first of
June when the trains will be running
from st. Louis to Fort Worth via
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe.
The gentleman says that in a short time
several officials of the road Will be in the
state and will doubtless visit Fort Worth.
st. Louis needs the Frisco in its bust
ness very badly at this time, and is fOrtu-
nate in having so powerful a road to fight
for territory which is fast being occupied
by roads from other cities. St. Louis
should see to il thai she does
all in her power to have the Frisco road
pushed through Bonham and Mckinney
to Fort Worth. 1t requires no expert
enced railroad man to see the absolute
necessity of this move. An ordinary OBJ
server can realize the fact. The Frisco
cannot obtain what she needs by going to
any half dozen other cities
IN Texas. By building her own
line to Fort Worth as Indicated, the road
makes close connection with the Fort
Worth and Denver, the only ROAD in
Texas penetrating the Panhandle. By
to Fort Worth the Frisco has |
an air line connecting the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande at Brentwood, and eventu- |
ally to TopoloOampo Bay which the
Frisco people know to be the
finest harbOr in the world. Here the !
Houston and Texas Central system is |
met as it is ct Mckinney also, here the |
three competing lines 10 the Calf are met |
which cannot be done by building to any
other city in the state. Mr.. Buchanan |
has Investigated these matters
and will probably lay the
matter before his company. |
Bonham, Mckinney and Fort Worth are
rpsdV IN talk huGiOpSG IN the jEriSpO ond /
the Frisco is a business road. Mr.. Buch-
lnan will remain in the city until Tues
lay, and by that time will find that our
people are more than willing to encourage

WEATHERFORD, TEX, April 3O.-This
morning about O'Clock very fine rain
began falling which continued until day
light. 1t was next to the best rain that
has fallen in this county for more than
twelve months. THE GAZETTE CORES
dondent learned to-day from farmers
from all parts of the county, that the
rain extended in the southeast and west
ern parts of the county and out about
seven miles north, but beyond that dis
lance no rain of any consequence fell.
This rain will make the wheat and oat
crops. 1t was learned from prominent
CT liens from the south and east portions
of the county that the wheat yield viii
average fifteen bushels 20 the acre ana
the oats is good. The farmers state thgt
the prospect for fine corn and cotton
crops this year was never better.

Prize Fight Arranged.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The intended
match between Jack McAuliffe of this
city and Jim Carney of England fell
through, the latter wanting to weigh
twelve hours before fighting, while the
former insisted on twenty-four. Arthur
Chambers, however, who had deposited
$3.50 for Jimmie Mitchell, was at the
Clipper office, and he as hacker of
Mitchell and Patsy Shepard representing
Jim Carney, made a match to fight to a
finish within five weeks with skin tight
gloves, stakes $1,000. After this match
had been made Mitchell's hackers said to
McAuliffe: "Win or lose, Mitchell will
fight you." and a second match for $1,000
side between Mitchell and McAuliffe,
with twenty-four hours agreement as to
weighing, was made.

The Railroad Boycott.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The Commercial
Advertiser says the refusal to-day by the
Pennsylvania Railroad to sell tickets to
accredited agents of western roads
is regarded by ticket agents as
the beginning Of war for
supremacy between the trunk lines
and the western companies. Mr.. Ian
sing says the Pennsylvania roads actions
is practically boycott, aud thai it is one
of the results of the meeting
of general passenger agents in
this city yesterday. The Pennsylvania,
which always takes the iniative in such
matters, will be joined, he thinks, by all
other trunk lines. Mr.. Lansing charac-
terizes this move on the part of the
trunk lines as the most violent attempt
to carry out their bold policy of COM
polling western roads to abolish the pay
ment of commissions to agents-a pol
icy the western roads have steadily re-
sisted. The western roads he says willre-
taliate on Monday by compelling the trunk
lines to show cause in the courts why the
trunk line roads should not furnish tick
cts as before. The western roads will
also appeal TO the Interstate commission,
claiming that discrimination is being
made contrary to the provisions of the
law. The opponents of the trunk lines
say the latest move is an attempt to crush
out weak western roads.

A Return to the Pass svstem

ST. LOUIS, April 3O.-The death knell
of the pass system was supposed to have
been rung when the interstate com
meTce bill went into effect, but although
it has not been in operation q month,
new passes have been issued and the sys-
tenn shows strong signs Of life. Now but
two eastern lines, the Vandalia and the
Ohio and Mississippi, refuse to grant these
favOrs and are losing nearly all their live
took traffic in consequence. They get
no stock at all for competing points,
local or interior, and will entirely lose
this entire important branch of trans
portation if they adhere to their present
course. The Wabash is giving return
passes from Toledo and indianapolis AMI
st. Louis from Cleveland, and it is
not believed that that the Vandalia and
the Ohio and Mississippi will long hold
out in their refusal to make similar con-
CeSSiOrS.

Ronham All Right,

Special to the Gazette.
BoNHAM, Tex, April 3O.-An idle ru-
NOR has gained circulation in Sherman
that the division station of the Trancon-
tinental is to be removed from this place
to Sherman, it being alleged that the
scarcity of water at this place necessi-
tates this move. At present BOnham is
better supplied with water than any town
on the line between Ammonia and Whites
boro, and besides if those credu-
lous, sanguine citizens of Sherman
that think the round-house and machine
shops are going to be removed to their
town, will only take the pains to make an
investigation they will find that the sub
sidy compromise between the citizens of
this place and the Texas and Pacific Rail
way Company Is such that the division
could not be lawfully removed, even if
the company desired it. The machine
shops and round houses are being en-
larged and made more extensive. Per-
hsps that is what led the Sherman citi-
zens of the track.

Interstate Regatta.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, April 30.-The
interstate regatta opened to-day under
favorable auspices. About 1000 people
witnessed the races, which were held
seven miles from the city at Jones' BAY,
on the mainland. The weather was pleas
ant, but stiff breeze prevailed and the
water was pretty rough. The first race
to have taken place, according
to previously arranged programme,
was the senior double sculI,
in which the Delawares
of Chicago and Sylvans of Moline and the
Galveston clubs had entered their strong
est teams. This is one of the best races
of the regatta, but it had to be put off
owing to the rough water. The Della
wares are favorites. The famous BIG
Four, the Sylvans of Moline, H., arrived
to-day and are quartered on the grounds.
They row against the Galvestons to-mor
row.
The principal event to-day was the
senior single scull race. There were five
entries, as follows: Korf and Wizard of
the Delawares of Chicago, Crotty and
Baker from the Galveston club and Elem
ing from the Molines. Crotty was favor
tie in the pools. He drew the second
position. Korf drew the first. The race
from the start lay between Korf, Crotty
aud Baker. Crotty was the
first to turn the mile stake in 6:O9,
followed by Kort in GAO. The race was
very close, resulting victory for Crotty
in 1l:03. One of Crotty's footcIamps
broke, thus losing him the lead.
The pair cared race between the st.
